Am trying to create a basic tree on these people, a descendant of whom has a 35cM dna match with me on Ancestry.

Have not done any Irish research previously and really don't know where to start.  All I have is the above marriage from the Irish Civil Registration Marriage Indexes and I believe from looking at various Ancestry trees that there were 9 children of this marriage.

In order to make any kind of connection I need to go backwards from Kathleen & John and would be grateful for some pointers on where to start.

Although I have been doing genealogy for years I feel like a complete novice here.

Thanks in advance,  Pheno

I am seeking the baptism of a Joseph Rawden b.c. 1807 Batley according to census data.  Have had no luck over a number of years.

However I have noticed that several trees on Ancestry have taken the Batley baptism of a Joseph Rawlinson on 6 Mar 1808 (birth 6 Feb 1808) as the appropriate baptism and have continued to go further back from here.

I cannot find an image of this baptism online in order to decide for myself so wondered if anybody had access to this image to determine whether indeed it states Rawlinson or something else.

I note that there is a baptism of a Samuel Rawden a bit later in 1812 in the register.

Thanks, Pheno

Hi, I can't seem to fnd these registers online so wondered if anyone had access and could look for the above baptism please.

I have no idea of his parentage although lots of people have Henry and Sarah but without any sources.  Possible date only from age at death so could be a few years out.

Any info appreciated thanks.

Hi, can anyone help untangle William John Clark for me please.

He is on the 1851 census (HO107/1548/333/p41) as aged 3 months with his 26 year old single mother Ann Clark, both born Middlesex. I have his birth registration at GRO as Sep qtr 1849 Shoreditch, which included both Bethnal Green & St. George in the East at that point.  I can't see another appropriate registration but this would make him a whole year older than recorded at the 1851 census. Of course, possible that he wasn't registered.

1861 (RG9/785/91/52) has Ann & John together with a visitor Esther Clark b.c. 1796 Dereham?, Norfolk.  I assume she must be related but this is the only reference I can find to her at all.

1871 (RG10/457/26/4) as a lodger with the Crump family
1871 Mar possible death of Ann Clark registered Hendon, Middx age 45

1881 (RG11/646/117/49) as a boarder in Battersea

1891 can't find him

1894 poss marriage to Annie Gill Kensington

1901 (RG13/358/78/2) as a boarder in Poplar

1911 (RG14/1125) with a son George b.c. 1896

Can anybody verify whether these are likely the same person - William John Clark (never Clarke) is a common name so some of the above could be a different person.

Any other life events?  Several Ancestry trees have him married to a Prudence Randall when he was younger with a stack of children but I am wary of this.

Thanks in advance if you can help sort him out for me.
